A little noisy, but you can schedule the pump and lights as needed. Easy to assemble and use. No complaints.

Seriously?!? Can it get any simpler than the iDOO 12 pod indoor hydroponic herb garden?!? I had the whole thing up, planted and running in maybe an hour... My arugula sprouted in 1½ days and I woke up this morning (day 3) and the four different basils are just beginning to sprout. So... I just ordered my second iDOO from Amazon. Excellent product. Insanely easy. Very cool (literally and figuratively) using only a 23W LED panel. I highly recommend this hydroponic garden! Update 4/7/21: It's been 6 weeks since I began my adventures in hydroponics with the iDOO 12 pod indoor... and I've been extremely pleased with the results and I added two current pictures. I began by planting all 24 pods (I have 2 units) - the blank spots in the pictures are plants I've already transplanted. All of those transplants were successful but for one. I had Thai basil next to lemon basil. They had both grown so fast and so bushy that I had to transplant them; however, their respective root balls had grown so incredibly tangled that I was unable to tease them apart (at least without likely causing serious damage.) I finally decided to pick a spot midway between then and used scissors to cut straight across. End result- lemon basil thriving but the Thai basil is lingering on life support (that, in and of itself, is a good sign since today is day 3.) Additional thought: an earlier reviewer mentioned how fast basil sucks up the water. My experience is the same. I started with sweet, Thai, lemon, purple and cinnamon basil varieties and I was having to add 1 liter (between 2 units) every other day. The burn rate I experienced was just over 5 weeks to use all of the part A & B nutrients supplied in the kit so for a single unit, figure about 11 weeks. I've started the second unit's nutrients as of this posting. I've looked all over Amazon for more iDOO parts A & B nutrients and all I can find is a kit with the nutrient + sponges + baskets + covers (the latter two being non-consumables, so kind of an underhanded way to inflate the price if you ask me.) I'm intending on buying an "off-brand" variety of hydroponic nutrients from the many offered on Amazon and I'll update with my results. I figure if iDOO doesn't want to make $ selling individual consumables (if I'm not changing out a plant, I don't even need additional sponges but a plant's gotta eat, right?) then I'll go with an alternate source. (iDOO, you listening?) Other than non-support wrt the nutrient solutions ( I expect this will be of little consequence due to all the alternate sources on Amazon) I still rate this product 5 stars. The project has been fun and I'm amazed at how quickly some plants grew on a day-by-day basis! I've had no problems with the lights or pump on either unit. The timers have both been creeping forward (~20 minutes in 6 weeks being the worse between them.) It's been fun, basically automated with minimal user support-what's not to love? After all that, I forgot to add the biggest plus-an absolutely incredible constant variety of fresh herbs. I'll never go back to dried herbs because I've discovered that fresh tastes so much better! One word of caution: don't eat an entire sage leaf-WOW a little goes a long way. I like sampling all the basil varieties by eating a leaf off the plant to contrast and compare against each other so I thought I'd try that with the sage. I won't do that again.

I've been growing Toy Choi which grows 8-10 inches high from Parks seeds in this black non wifi vs. 12 pod IDOO since February 2022. Since the unit has plenty of space I can use all pods. It germinated fast and grew wonderfully. When I ran out of nutrients since I have aerogarden nutrients I used them in the IDOO. I supplement all my gardens of different brands with Cal mg and Sea magic from parks. This crop is a heavy feeder and likes it cold so I top fill with cold water to prevent bolting. I've been keeping my crop going harvesting from outside in leaving center 4 leaves. The fan helps towards firm, crunchy taste that is mild and delicious. Of everything I own this unit yields a lot. I get 4-5 cups chopped a week. Yes I decided to measure last few times. Love it so much I got another. My price was $67 so therefore excellent return on investment. Very little labor other than top off water via easy to see little window, feed and harvest. I do a complete water change monthly and super easy and fast. If it goes on sale I may buy a couple more lol. The one thing I don't see is extra pumps for sale so I bought an aquarium air pump to insert when pump dies. Also The pods are pricey but nice and firm. My major issue is no cover for the pods to prevent algae so I either use aerogarden labels or makeshift tinfoil ones which work well but it's more labor. So print , buy or make some labels or you will get green algae on top of pods. I never got any due to using covers. Last no major bells or whistles but mostly what you need.

I have never indoor gardened before and i have not even out door gardened much. I live in an apartment and this seemed like a neat way to get a little taste. Hydro is a lot different then soil but properly maintained i believe it is a much easier solution to plants then dirt. You do have to learn a bit about PH and EC in your water. after that it's much better then soil because you don't have to worry about over or under watering in hydro. As for this device! I have been growing plants in it for 36 days only. I was a little skeptical but it actually works very well. Especially for lettuce or low growing crops. The kale i had wanted to grow way too tall so i had to keep trimming the stalks even though it was a "dwarf" variety. The peppers are starting to flower already. I could stop them but i will let them go. The issues with the device for me are these. The holes are too close together. there might be 12 spots for plants but unless you are growing micro greens you can only realistically keep 4ish full grown plants in there otherwise they would be way too cramped. As you can see in my picture it is pretty cramped and i have 7 plants in there. The height of the LED lamp only goes so high. meaning if you want tall bushy pepper plants this device is obviously not it. This last one is a small issue but i wanted to be able to grow the plants with out using the stickers included but after doing some tests with and without stickers it seems the stickers are pretty important for a couple reasons. being mold and plant stem support. a long with that i found the plants i didn't use the sticker with were more likely to stem split and they all have white mildew on top of the plugs All in all if you are growing some lettuce for some turtles like me or maybe some short pepper plants. This device will do it. Plants i have grown in here and some i transplanted out are. Three varieties of pepper, leaf lettuce, dwarf kale, catmint, marigold, zinnia, lizzies. no plant has died being in the hydro device

Très utile avec le téléphone! Les pods sont plus profonds que les autres jardins idoo et les petits couverts sont excellents. Bon achat!

Whole family have one now! Never run out of herbs!

L'appareil vient dans une boîte très compacte. Tout est vraiment bien fait. Ça vient avec un guide d'instructions facile a suivre. En 20 minutes c'était fonctionnel avec pour essayer des semis de piments ancho. L'application et le wifi j'adore. Surtout le journal des plantes :-). Très heureux de mon achat. Je vais l'utiliser pour faire mes semis puis des herbes et tomates tiny Tim plus tard. A mettre surtout dans un endroit avec porte fermée... Ça éclaire pas a peu près.

Good

スタンダードモデルとしてこの機種を購入しました。 これくらいのモデルが丁度使い勝手が良く、レタス等の葉っぱ類はワサワサと育ちワシワシ食べれます。 慣れてくると時間差で種植えして毎日食べれるようになります。 満足度は☆5評価です。
